Description of the problem | Attempted to have spark plugs changed in accordance with vehicle maintenance manual at 100,000 mile. While this was being done 3 factory installed motorcraft spark plugs broke off. As a result i was charged a total of almost $700 for the removal of these broken plugs. The dealership technician informed me that 100% of all 2004-2007 f150 trucks that have the plugs removed as required at 100,000 miles have plugs that break. Ford nor the dealership would cover the cost of this defective product and defective ford design. |
